"Overzealous" Is One Way to Describe Corruption

From the Vienna Times:

Despite a strong vote in favor of the status quo, things are still going to be changing in Vienna. Due to the efforts of a Vienna poll worker, the town will no longer be selecting its own poll workers, ending a tradition that has gone on so long that no one at the Fairfax County Electoral Board can remember how it started. According to electoral board Secretary Margaret Luca, the woman instructed a voter who submitted a ballot for only one candidate that the person had to select three. "That's bad information. It says on the ballot 'select not more than three.' You can submit a ballot for nobody if you want" Luca said. According to candidate Deborah Brehoney, one witness said that the poll worker reached over their shoulder and voted in their place. When the incident was reported to Luca, the worker was asked to leave the polling place. "I wouldn't think that she will serve as an election worker again," Luca said. Vienna election officers have traditionally been recommended by the Town Council from a list approved by the Board of Elections, but this incident has changed that. "We will simply appoint the election officers for the town from now on," Luca said. "[She] is a good citizen, she just got a little overzealous," Lovelace said of the poll worker. "What happened was wrong. Even if we had won, we would still be screaming about this," said Brehony. "I sincerely hope that next election we return to normalcy," Robinson said.
